WINE AT COMMUNION.
United Presbyterians Divided as To the
Use Of Eermentcd or Unfern,ented

The discussion on the use Of fermented or infer
mented wine In the Lords supper, which was pre-.
cipitated Friday In the General Assembly OF the
United Presbyterian Church OF North America I'm
Philadelphia by the report of the committee on
bills and oyertures, was renewed Immediately
after the opening of Saturdays session. In its re-
port the committee stated In substance that "ses-
stons to whom belong the responsibility are hereby
reminded OF the necessity and duty of making
every reasonable effort to procure the best and
purest wine for sacramental purposes, whether
fermented or unfsrnented." minority report,
presented by the Rev. W. ID. Beggs, argued in IA
vOr OF unfermented wine. 1'since it withheld from
the weak as well as the strong that which In taste
and smell is such deadly enemy to many"
The Rev j. A Gordon, u. D. OF Princeton en-
ueaVored 10 orlnS the debate to close by Offering

wine. believe that If we can get pure fernented
wine 1t Is our bounden duty TO do so. Ny faith on
this question Is a positive duty. The furthest
can go ON this point is TO admit that the Use OF un
fermented wine is admissible nothing more. 1
would IKE 10 Oner this amendment 10 the reSOlu-
ton:

we have reached a fearful extremity in the cause

the use OF the unrernented juice OF the grape.
Regarding the possibility OF danger in the use OF
fermented wine, i cannot help expressing doubt
that any man would go from the communion table
TO the inebriate'S cup"
After a two and half hours discussion, the
Rev. Dr. j. A. GOrtiOn's resolution reaffrming the
action OF the general assembly OF 1854 in recon-
mend1ng sessions OF churches TO provide unfer-
mented wine for communion purposes was adopted

The Presbyterian General Assembly, now In

claimed that the action OF that body in recon-
mendlng the submission of a prOhibitOry amend
ment TO the Pennsylvania constitution in the fall
of 1856 was contrary to the rules OF the church.
The majority report OF the judicial committee
Endorsed the action OF the synod. The majority
